[quote=Anonymous]We are immigrants who grew up in our home country with some kind of domestic help.  When we came here, we did not have housecleaners because we were broke.  And for the longest time we did not have cleaners even when we had one kid and I was SAHM because we remained poor, cash strapped and insecure about money.  I was fighting tooth and nail to live with as much frugality as I could manage. In those days, even buying a windex cleaner felt like luxury when I would clean with dish-soap.

But, as money became a bit better, and doing household chores seemed to suck all our time, we decided to cut expenses in other places and put money towards reclaiming our peace of mind and our leisure time.

Having a cleaner also allowed us to entertain and interact with people in the way we wanted to. It also kept our home stress-free, tension-free and improved our life as a married couple and as parents.

So, people who have cleaners while they are single or DINKS, maybe actually - appreciate the peace of mind that they get, the lifestyle that allows for guests and entertaining , the time they can reclaim to exercise/study/have hobbies/rest  - when they have cleaners.

Mostly, they can afford it in place of something else.  Maybe they don't go for therapy and having a cleaner is the therapy for them.  Maybe they live in a cheaper place (we do) so that they can afford cleaners.
